Why linen, cotton, and velvet are classic choices for your space
In interior design, lampshades play a crucial role. They not only control the light diffusion but also add style and warmth to a room. At Paralumi Creations, all our lampshades are handmade using natural, high-quality fabrics such as cotton, linen, and velvet.
Below, you’ll find the characteristics of each fabric and tips on how to choose the perfect one for your space.
Linen – natural texture & subtle elegance
Linen offers a distinctive texture that fits perfectly in minimalistic and rustic decor. It gently filters light while maintaining the lampshade’s shape and structure.
Ideal for bedrooms, relaxation corners, and living rooms
Matches earthy and neutral tones
Creates a calm, natural atmosphere
Cotton – soft light & cozy feel
Cotton is a timeless fabric that provides even, warm lighting. It’s a great choice for everyday spaces like living rooms, dining areas, or offices.
